Installing or replacing the HPL lamp
A lamp must be installed before you use the fixture.
Note:
Verify that the HPL lamp you intend to install is suitable for your facility's
voltage; 115-, 120-, 230-, and 240-volt HPL lamps are available. See the
above table. Operating HPL lamps above their rated voltage reduces lamp
life and can cause premature lamp failure.
Replace the lamp if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.
1.
Disconnect power to the Source Four before installing the lamp.
2.
Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull the housing
out.
3.
Holding it by the base, remove the HPL lamp from its box.
Note:
To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp glass. If you do,
clean it carefully with rubbing alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth before
operation.
4.
Line up the flat sides of the lamp base with the retention brackets on either side
of the socket as show in
Figure 2
.
5.
Push down on the lamp base until the lamp seats firmly. (When properly
installed, the top of the lamp's base will be even with the top edges of the
retention brackets).
Caution!
Improperly installed lamps cause premature lamp failure and socket
problems.
6.
Press lamp retaining clip across lamp base to secure.
7.
Reinstall the lamp housing by aligning the bolt hole and tightening the knurled
bolt.
Centering and adjusting the lamp
The two concentric knobs located on the lamp housing allow you to align the lamp
and adjust its field (
Figure 3
). The outer knob centers the lamp within the reflector.
The inner knob adjusts the lamp's field.
1.
Turn on the Source Four and aim it at a flat surface.
2.
Unlock and loosen the outer knob by turning it counterclockwise.
3.
Gently move the outer knob from side to side and up and down until the lamp is
centered within the reflector.
4.
Once the lamp is centered, turn the outer knob clockwise to lock it in place.
5.
Finally, turn the inner knob either clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve an
optimum flat field.
Focusing the beam
1.
Loosen the beam focus knob located under the barrel as shown in
Figure 4
.
2.
Slide the lens tube forward or backward to achieve the desired beam edge.
3.
Once the fixture is focused, tighten the beam focus knob.
WARNING!
Let the lamp cool before replacing.

Color frame retaining clip
The color frame holder is equipped with a spring-loaded retaining clip that prevents
color frames and accessories from falling out (
Figure 5
).
1.
Release the retaining clip by pushing it sideways while gently pulling backwards.
2.
Insert the color frame.
3.
Lock the retaining clip by pushing sideways while gently pushing forward.
Color notes
ETC does not guarantee the performance
of saturated colors with low temperature
ranges. For best results, always use a high
quality and temperature color medium.
ETC's Source Four color extender may help
increase your gel life. Contact ETC or your
dealer for ordering information.
Note:
An optional conical color extender
is available for use with saturated
colors and 750W HPL lamps.
Shaping the beam
You may shape the beam with the shutters, a pattern, an optional drop-in iris, or by
rotating the barrel.
Pattern projection
The pattern holder slot is on the top side of the barrel and in front of the shutters. It
accommodates A-size, B-size and glass pattern holders (
Figure 6
).
Note:
Because the Source Four aperture is three inches wide, ETC recommends
using A-size patterns for maximum pattern effectiveness.
Use an optional donut in the accessory holder to enhance pattern projection. Donut
diameter range should be 2.5 to 2.75 inches.
Drop-in iris slot
The drop-in iris slot is located on the top of the barrel and in front of the pattern
holder slot. It accommodates either a drop-in iris or a motorized pattern device.
When the slot is not in use, a small sheet metal cover secured with two Phillips
screws prevents light leakage (
Figure 7
).
1.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the drop-in iris slot cover. Do
not remove the screws.
2.
Slide the cover completely forward to expose the slot.
3.
Insert the iris or motorized pattern device. For an iris, install the flat side toward
the shutters and make sure that the iris handle extends from the slot.
4.
Slide the slot cover back toward the shutters until it meets the iris handle. Leave
enough space to move the iris handle.
5.
Secure the drop-in iris slot cover by tightening the screws.
WARNING!
Make sure all color frame accessories are locked in
position with the retaining clip before hanging the Source Four.

Cleaning
ETC offers the following recommendations when cleaning and inspecting lenses
and reflectors:
Do not
use glass or window type cleaners on lenses (glass or polymer) or
reflectors.
Do not
use abrasive materials such as steel wool.
Replace lenses if they contain visible damage (cracks or deep scratches) that may
impair their effectiveness.
Cleaning 19°, 26°, 36°, and 50° glass lenses
1.
Remove the beam focus knob at the bottom of the barrel. Remove the lens tube
from the barrel.
Note:
It is not necessary to remove the lens for cleaning. If you do remove the
19°, 26°, or 50° lens, make sure the identifying paint dot is not removed
during cleaning.
2.
Dampen a clean lint-free cloth with vinegar or household ammonia. You may also
use water, but it will leave spots that can be removed by gently polishing the lens
with a clean and dry cloth.
3.
Starting from the center, gently wipe the lens.
4.
Slide the lens tube back into the barrel with the color frame retaining clip on top.
Replace the beam focus knob.
Cleaning 5° and 10° polymer lenses
To quickly clean the lenses, remove dust with a blast of oil-free air. If this is not
sufficient, follow the instructions below. You will need a Phillips screwdriver.
Caution!
Handle polymer lenses by their edges only. Never rub anything dry on a
polymer lens.
1.
Remove the beam focus knob. Gently pull the lens tube out of the barrel.
2.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the brackets that hold the lens in place.
Remove the lens from the tube.
3.

4.
Use a moistened nylon bristle brush to wash the lens' smooth side in a linear
(non-circular) motion.
5.
Use the same brush to lightly wash the lens' ridged side by following its ridges.
6. Dip the lens in a clean alcohol/water mixture (10% alcohol).
7. Dry the smooth and ridged surfaces with an air gun. Make sure that the air flow
moves liquid away from you.
8. Inspect the lens for dirt. Repeat steps 3-7 if necessary.
9. Set the lens back in the lens tube with the ridged side facing the front of the
tube. Replace the lens brackets.
10.Slide the lens tube back into the barrel with gel frame retainer on top. Replace
beam focus knob.

Cleaning the reflector
To quickly clean the reflector, remove the lens tube and clean the dust from the
reflector with a blast of oil-free air. You may also wipe the reflector with a clean lint-
free cloth. If either method is not sufficient, follow the instructions below. You will
need a Phillips screwdriver to complete this procedure.
1. Remove the barrel rotation knob located at the bottom of the barrel. Use a
Phillips screwdriver to remove the retainer bolt located on top of the reflector
housing.
2. Rotate the barrel 45° in either direction. Carefully remove the barrel from the
reflector housing.
